When asked about his plans for 2022, Pimblett confidently stated that he is going to become the biggest Pay-per-view star in UFC alongside Conor McGregor. The fighter believes that he would be able to compete with UFC’s biggest Pay-per-view star in the upcoming years.

“I’m gonna become the biggest box office name besides Conor McGregor,” said Pimblett. According to the fighter, if he and Mcgregor ever had a chance to fight, the event would have the biggest box office sales in UFC history.

It is definitely a strong prediction for the future as Pimblett just made his UFC debut last year and has a long way to go. Other than that, Pimblett competes in the lightweight division which is considered as one of the most stacked weight classes in the entire UFC. It will be a very hard task for the fighter to make his way to the top as he will have to go through fighters like Islam Makhachev, Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirer, Charles Oliveira, etc.
